Who was the main protagonist in the fighting between the categories?

Is that the solution to everything, Supercars takes over every category to "keep the peace" in Australian motorsport?

Do you really the vast majority of the people who fund GT racing in Australia are really worried about having their tyre bills covered?

The important players in the series are not MPC, McElrea Racing or Maranello Motorsport, the important players are the businmen who fund those teams & others by wanting to go racing. They seem in most cases happy to fund the cars themselves or splash their business across the cars.

Or is the Supercars solution to make AGT a "Professional" series with the removal of the Pro/AM driver requirement?

AM drivers make GT3 racing, and GT racing in general, the world over go around.
